Product Application

Corridor Lighting

Pathway illumination during power outages. Our high-temperature batteries power emergency corridor lighting systems that guide occupants safely to exits in commercial, industrial, and public buildings.

Safe Pathway Illumination

Emergency corridor lighting ensures safe evacuation by providing adequate illumination along escape routes during power failures. Our high-temperature battery packs are designed for bulkhead lights, downlights, and linear fixtures installed in corridors, stairwells, and passageways where ambient temperatures can be challenging.

European Market Standards

EN 1838 & EN 60598-2-22 Compliance

European emergency escape route lighting is governed by EN 1838 (Lighting applications - Emergency lighting) and EN 60598-2-22 (Luminaires for emergency lighting). These standards define illumination levels, uniformity, and duration requirements.

1 Lux Minimum on Escape Routes

Center line of escape route up to 2m wide must have ≥1 lux

3-Hour Duration Standard

Most European countries require 3-hour emergency duration

Anti-Panic Lighting

Open areas >60m² require 0.5 lux minimum horizontal illumination

50% Output in 5 Seconds

Emergency lighting must reach 50% output within 5 seconds
